At Blue Skies Exploration Academy, energetic and experienced educators encourage the curiosity and energy of toddlers and provide a classroom rich in opportunities for exploration and investigation. Our experienced teachers begin social skills training, as well as an introduction to the ABC’s and 123’s also.

In our toddler care, toddlers perform basic scientific investigations and are encouraged to explore their world through artwork. As your child appears ready he or she will be able to take the first steps towards potty training.

Why is Reggio Emilia Education important for Your Toddler?

Toddlers are natural scientists. They spend their days exploring, experimenting, reacting, forming opinions, and creating new experiments–all in an effort to learn about the world around them. This brain-building work is crucial to the development of toddlers.

Key Benefits of our Toddler Care Program:

Parents receive daily communication notes

Toddlers use mats for naptime with their personal bedding and “loveys”

The classroom schedule is group oriented but recognizes individual needs

Natural and repurposed materials are used to create a fascinating environment

Toddlers enjoy our variety of fun learning areas!

The Reggio Emilia philosophy emphasizes meeting the needs of children and their families through providing opportunities for physical exercise both indoors and outdoors, great nutrition and health practices, plenty of exploratory play time inside and out, and fostering social skills and relationships.

At its core, the Reggio Emilia philosophy believes that children are competent, responsible, decision-making people that deserve to be treated with respect.

With toddlers, this means the teacher works with the parent to meet the children individually at the child’s developmental level AND the teacher is highly responsive to the interests of the child.

The interests of young children are a sign of the brain development and physical development a child is undergoing. The teacher creates learning experiences to foster growth and development at the level of each toddler.
